《Sweetness Drowning: Callous Boss and Awkward Wife》C27. Luring the Tiger Out of the Mountain

Hospital.
Gu Yi has never left the hospital since Yu Fei's condition became abnormal. The range of action is basically fixed in the ward. All his work has been moved to here by the secretary so that he can take care of Yu Fei and deal with business at the same time.
Ko Chen has been secretly checking Yu Fei's situation. Naturally, he has a clear grasp of Gu Yi's behavior. Though he is extremely upset, he has no reason to care about Yu Fei at all now. He misses her so much that he dare not even go to the hospital.
As the time goes by, Yu Fei's condition doesn't improve at all, which seems to be no different from normal people. After an attempted talk, it can be found that Yu Fei is totally immersed in her spiritual world and doesn't care about the people and things around her.
There is nothing serious about her condition, but she has a baby now. If she has been like this all the time, it would affect the baby terribly and she is likely to have a miscarriage at any time.
The doctor said that it would be better to talk to Yu Fei, so Gu Yi often talks to Yu Fei in his spare time, mostly about things in college, and tells her the love which he didn't dare to say at that time.
At noon, Gu Yi just finished a video conference and is about to call the secretary to deliver lunch. Before the number could be dialed, the phone rings first.
"There’s something wrong, Mr.Gu!" The Secretary's voice sounds very anxious, which is completely different from her usual calmness. Without waiting for Gu Yi to ask what is the matter, she explains eagerly, "there is something wrong with the land that was tendered last time, and the government sends someone to check it!"
“How did this happen?” Gu Yi asks calmly, gathering information about the land in his head.

He remembers that this land was chosen by him and has been analyzed precisely. Theoretically, it has no possibility to have problems. But the Secretary couldn't make fun of it. Therefore, there is only one possibility: there may be an accident to which he didn't pay attention...
The company has received several major projects during this period, and almost invested all the fluid capital. If there’s something wrong in this land, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Gu Yi can't stay in the ward any longer. He takes a deep look at Yu Fei on the bed and makes sure that she is sleeping soundly so he’s a little relieved. After ordering a professional nurse to look after her, he leaves in a hurry.
Gu Yi steps into the elevator, and the moment the door closes, the elevator aside stops at the same floor with a "Ding" sound. The door opens slowly and it’s none other than Ko Chen.
Ko Chen wears a dark gray suit, and the bangs in front of his forehead are all combed behind his head, fixed meticulously. He wears a pair of gold rimmed glasses. All these makes a typical elite image of him.
As he walks to the door of the ward, he stops slowly. He stretches out his hand to push the door open, but stops the action in the the air with hesitation, and keeps unmoving for a long time.
At this time, the door suddenly opens from the inside, scaring both Ko Chen and the nurse. However, after seeing Ko Chen's face clearly, her frightened look turns into a surprise, and her two eyes display a kind of love.
She stares at Ko Chen admiringly with blankness in head. After a long time, she stammers, "who...who are you looking for?"
Even a glance Ko Chen doesn’t give to her, and he takes out a few red notes directly from his wallet to hand over with a tough tone, "Go out."

Maybe it’s out of responsibility or some other small discretion, the nurse doesn’t take the money but looks at Ko Chen on guard, stepping back into the ward, and quickly closes the door.
It is so fast that Ko Chen doesn't have time to react, and he is shut out.
Ko Chen only feels that the blue veins on his forehead are jumping. God knows how much he wants to see Yu Fei after enduring so many days. It’s not easy for Uncle Zhang to make a trick to take Gu Yi away. However, it's really unexpected that such a person has come again.
He patiently knocks on the door several times. It’s quiet inside. It seems that the nurse is determined firmly not to open the door.
Soon Ko Chen’s patience runs out. He takes out the phone and calls the Director's office directly.
The Director answers the phone, and Ko Chen's cold voice passes through the receiver before he could say a word, "Come to the ward."
Finishing his words, Ko Chen also doesn’t listen to the answer, and directly hangs up the phone.
The Director does not dare to provoke this tycoon and comes in a hurry. Ko Chen doesn't speak, only expressing his displeasure with eyes.
The Director doesn't understand what was going on, so he raises his hand and knocks twice on the door. There is no response. When he’s wondering, Ko Chen says, "Speak."
Although he doesn't know what this means, he is still obedient and follows his command.
The nurse in the ward is also wondering why the handsome unknown guy has such perseverance. The next second, she hears the voice of the Director outside the door. After being stunned for a second, she dares not to pretend to be deaf anymore and hurries to open the door.
When the door opens, the Director and the nurse look at each other. Ko Chen points to the nurse in a gentle voice, "take her away."
With his words, he doesn't care about how the react, striding into ward. The Director does not dare to pluck beard from the tiger's face, but still wants to maintain his status in front of the subordinate. So he deliberately puts his face down and asks the nurse to go out with him.
The nurse is curious about the identity of Ko Chen, and asks secretly on the way.
The Director is going to talk with Yu Fei's attending doctor. He wishes him to try his best to cure Yu Fei no matter how difficult it would be. Otherwise, he would live under the pressure of Ko Chen every day and become mentally fragile sooner or later.
"He's a man we can't afford, just remember that." The Director says that and leaves.
The nurse stays alone and feels stunned for a long time. She feels lucky that Ko Chen didn't blame her for not opening the door.
In the ward, Yu Fei lies on the bed and sleeps.
She falls asleep on her side with one hand under her face, and her white and tender face is a little red, and her pink lips are slightly open, and sleeps very soundly. She doesn't know that someone came into the ward.
Ko Chen sits down in front of her, glancing greedily at Yu Fei's face. Not having seen her some days, he finds that Yu Fei has lost a little more weight and her small face has become smaller than his palm.
Ko Chen can't help stretching out his hand. His fingers are full of love and slide across her face. The soft touch under his fingertips is familiar and strange, as if the time with Yu Fei has become such a distant thing of the last century.
“Fei, what should I do with you...”
